Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing crude oil, in which an aqueous surfactant formulation comprising at least one alkylpolyalkoxysulfate comprising propoxy groups and at least one further surfactant is injected through injection bores into an oil reservoir and the crude oil is removed from the deposit by production wells.
  • an aqueous surfactant formulation comprising at least one alkylpolyalkoxysulfate comprising propoxy groups and at least one further surfactant is injected through injection bores into an oil reservoir and the crude oil is removed from the deposit by production wells.
  • the process may be Winsor Type III microemulsion flooding.
  • a deposit In natural oil deposits, petroleum is present in the cavities of porous reservoirs, which are closed to the earth's surface of impermeable cover layers.
  • the cavities may be very fine cavities, capillaries, pores or the like. Fine pore necks, for example, have a diameter of only about 1 micron.
  • a deposit In addition to crude oil, including natural gas, a deposit contains more or less saline water.
  • the secondary funding is used.
  • additional wells will be drilled into the oil-bearing formation in addition to the wells that serve to extract the oil, known as production wells.
  • injection wells water is injected into the reservoir to maintain or increase the pressure.
  • the oil is slowly pressed by the cavities in the formation starting from the injection hole in the direction of the production bore. But this works only as long as the cavities are completely filled with oil and the viscous oil is pushed through the water in front of him.
  • the low-viscosity water breaks through cavities, it flows from this point on the path of the least resistance, ie through the channel formed and no longer pushes the oil in front of him.
  • tertiary oil production It is known to further increase the oil yield by measures of tertiary oil production.
  • An overview of tertiary oil production can be found, for example, in Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering 19 (1998) 265-280 .
  • For tertiary oil production include heat processes in which hot water or superheated steam is injected into the deposit. As a result, the viscosity of the oil is reduced.
  • gases such as CO 2 or nitrogen can be used.
  • surfactant flooding Surfactants which can reduce ⁇ to values of ⁇ 10 -2 mN / m (ultralow interfacial tension) are particularly suitable for this purpose. In this way, the oil droplets can be changed in shape and forced through the flood water through the capillary openings.
  • the oil droplets can then combine to form a continuous oil bank. This has two advantages: Firstly, as the continuous oil bank progresses through new porous rock, the oil droplets located there merge with the bank. Furthermore, the oil-water interface is significantly reduced by the union of the oil drops to an oil bank and thus releases no longer needed surfactant. The released surfactant may then mobilize residual oil in the formation.
  • Suitable surfactants for tertiary oil production should reduce the interfacial tension between water and oil (typically about 20 mN / m) to particularly low values of less than 10 - Reduce 2 mN / m to allow sufficient mobilization of the petroleum. This must be done at the usual storage temperature of about 15 ° C to about 130 ° C and in the presence of highly saline water, especially in the presence of high levels of calcium and / or magnesium ions; The surfactants must therefore be soluble in highly saline reservoir water.
  • mixtures of surfactants have been frequently proposed, in particular mixtures of anionic and nonionic surfactants.
  • the nonionic surfactants are polyethoxylated alkylphenols which have 6 to 20 ethoxy groups and whose alkyl radical has 5 to 20 C atoms or polyethoxylated aliphatic alcohols having 6 to 20 C atoms and 6 to 20 ethoxy groups.
  • US 3,811,504 discloses a mixture of 2 different anionic surfactants and a nonionic surfactant for use in reservoirs whose reservoir water contains 0.15 to 1.2% calcium and magnesium ions.

  • the polyethersulfonates include a hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms.
  • the polyethersulfonates can be combined with various ionic and nonionic surfactants.
  • Winsor III microemulsion is in equilibrium with excess water and excess oil. Under these conditions of microemulsion formation, the surfactants occupy the oil-water interface and lower the interfacial tension ⁇ .
  • Winsor III microemulsions are particularly low in viscosity compared to other types of emulsion, they can flood through the porous reservoir rock. By contrast, conventional emulsions can get stuck in the porous matrix and clog it up. Consequently, Winsor Type III microemulsion flooding is an extremely efficient process and, unlike an emulsion flooding process, requires significantly less surfactant.
